Ohio State has hosted night football games in "The Shoe" for decades, but lights have always been trucked in. That's changing as the school hopes for more exposure to recruits and national TV audiences.

The Ohio State menâ€™s basketball team has made it to the final 16 teams of the NCAA tournament the last four years in a row and is just two years removed from the Final Four.

But things arenâ€™t looking good this year: The Buckeyes have lost four straight games and hit a low point by losing to Nebraska on Monday.

But they can get back on the winning side tonight against Illinois. For WOSUâ€™s new sports podcast After the Score, Steve Brown and Thomas Bradley sat down with Rob Oller from the Columbus Dispatch to see whatâ€™s wrong with the Buckeyes.
